    Default Re: Sand in my pool

    I have sand in my 21' AG pool everyday. Probably a good cups' worth. I vacuum with the Pool Buster so it doesn't get into the system. The next day, there's more sand in the pool. It shows up even with the solar cover on. I think my filter has to be leaking somehow.

    I had sand in my pool and at the end of the season took the filter apart and my standpipe had a crack in it.

    It's not a big deal at all to empty the sand filter and check out the laterals and standpipe. I have a 150lb sand filter and it takes about an hour. The second time I did it I just lined my wheel barrow with a garbage back so that I could just put the sand back in after I checked everything.
